So our station manager told me this morning a story that their guest pastor shared yesterday at church. He was preaching on Luke 5, verses 17 - 20...
One day Jesus was teaching, and Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there. They had come from every village of Galilee and from Judea and Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was with Jesus to heal the sick. Some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a mat and tried to take him into the house to lay him before Jesus.
When they could not find a way to do this because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and lowered him on his mat through the tiles into the middle of the crowd, right in front of Jesus.
When Jesus saw their faith, he said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.”
He started the sermon out with a video about a softball player who, while she was in her college senior season still had NEVER had a homerun in her life, finally got one...and it almost ended tragically! Here's what happens:
Now that you’ve gotten the tissues out….men included…. What is stopping you from helping to carry your fellow man when they need a hand on their journey?
